Really sweet of Joel at times for these little gestures really makes a difference. It's the little things in life, in our hectic life that people often overlook. They may think that it's a waste of time, or that these little actions will not change or improve anything. That's why it's lacking of late. Haiz...anyway after the coaching, I had my greatest nightmare of driving to Orchard during the peak hour. It’s indeed scary. Gek Leng was with me. We reached Heeren and I really felt it’s a little feat for me. Haha…had tiramisu and banana walnut muffin at Spinelli before Penny arrived. We had our dinner at The Village. We ordered half a pork knuckle, mixed vegetables, seafood platter, and rosti (a “must-have” dish when patronizing here). After the very scrumptious meal, which was already 10, we decided to head for home. Sent both of them home.
Yesterday, me woke up early for the weekly jog at Bishan Park. Once again, offered to pick Ace up and head for Bishan together. It rained again, just like last week. In the end, the run has to be cancelled, and instead of burning calories, we had a heavy breakfast at the hawker centre nearby. The rain started to cease and we played poison ball so that the journey there would not been wasted. The next nightmare came when I had to travel to Orchard for my appointment with Jun Xian and his girlfriend. I was really very nervous as the traffic was very heavy, and I did not know the routes well. I relied on the signboards on the roads throughout the journey. Finally managed to reach Plaza Sing, and once again felt a sense of achievement. Haha, I know it sounds exaggerated, but every journey on the road seems like a battle to me, a battle against inertia, a battle to overcome phobia on the roads. I had forgotten to bring all my cosmetics and the outfit I hastily brought from home was kind of too sloppy for an appointment, thus had no choice but to purchase at the mall. The overhaul cost me $114. Haha, perhaps I was just finding an excuse to shop. Quickly bought a blusher brush from The Body Shop, and an eyebrow pencil and blusher from The Face Shop. Went in GG>5 and could not resist the temptation of a pretty purple top and bought it in less than 5 mins! Sher Lin is a nice girl. I offered to do a review on her current policies and opened PPA. She was quite interested with the plan, but as expected, she has to read through the benefit illustration before committing, especially she is a lawyer and Jun Xian has always been very cautious in getting plans, at least for all the policies he got from me. After the appointment at TCC, I went back to my car to rest. I felt very sleepy then. Tried reading a book but attention span was short.
I was famished waiting for Chris to arrive, so went down BK for a late lunch. He arrived shortly. We walked around the mall, aimlessly I would say. Nothing much to talk to him too. I was waiting for my next appointment to confirm. Waiting is such a hateful thing to do. After covering almost all the shops, we decided to rest our feet at Gelare with a glass of root beer float, my fave. Vincent overslept and caused me to wait for him at the carpark. Arrrgh, irritating. I asked him to go Ikea to look for me to pass him the policy document. I left PS after parking for nearly a whole day; thought would be very expensive, it’s not fact! It’s only costing me $9plus for 7.5hours. Tom messaged me only I decided to cancel his appointment. Some people just think that we agents are always on standby for their appointment, as if we do not have other appointments and commitments. Damn irritated by such people. Joined the folks at Ikea for some shopping for quilt and frames. Went home at around 10 plus.
